GBaker24 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Anyone know if any companies do a "plug and play" style turbo conversion for the 4efe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Toyota just bolt all turbo stuff on including loom and ecu and leave it at actuator pressure 0.6bar. drive on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GBaker24 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Awesome it sounds so simple but I know I'm gunna fuck it in some way haha thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 isn't a big job as Richard said parts you will need full loom dash and engineexhaust systemturbo and manifoldcatintercooler and pipe workknock sensor check your block first if you have the hole or ya will need to drill it to fit the knock sensorthermostat housing as has extra feeds for running water through turbo not essential but if ya can get it fit itinjectorssump with oil feed returnthrottle body as turbo ones are slightly bigger or if ya can get a full inlet get itmap sensorfuel pump starlet one doesn't flow fast enoughboost gauge again not essential but handy to know what boost your atrocker cover has extra crank case breatherecustandard actuator make sure ya get hi low boost button and run it on low boost probably bits im leaving out but ya get the jist of what parts ya need gearbox side of things your box should do the job ya might need to use your flywheel and clutch setup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Just have to disagree with one thing that I noticed 4efe fuel pump is perfect ;) we ran two 4efe turbos off one fuel pump at the same time and it has no problem flowing enough fuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 And low boost is like 0.45. Actuator pressure is 0.6 so wouldnt bother with high/low. On another note;Being a high compression engine, the internal wastegate doesnt flow well enough to hold boost at 0.6 so it spikes to just under fuel cut(sometimes hitting it if its a cold day) this is perfect for the 4efe imo.

JDMfreak Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 i stand corrected didn't think the 4efe pump flowed high enough to keep up with the 4efte lump ya learn something new everyday we swapped it as we had it there from donor car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 It does no harm to change it but no need to go looking for one. If you had one there then why not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zemerz Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 You can bolt ct9 onto 4efe with other mods. No engine swap or loom swap needed. Im also doing this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 wow overkill just slap a 4efte turbo kit on it and 4efte map sensor and get it mapped on a blue alla budget Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 wow overkill just slap a 4efte turbo kit on it and 4efte map sensor and get it mapped on a blue alla budget Exactly this and your sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Its cheaper to buy the standard 4efte stuff than to get a piggyback and pay for mapping. Ive done a few now and its a lot easier than it sounds. Plus oem ecu gives knock sensor. Much safer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Ive done a couple now using all FTE stuff on a FE engine. Its cheap and easy, the parts are not hard to come by either.As ive said in a lot of these threads theres more than one way to do it, neither are right or wrong its just personal preference.Also a mod really needs to sticky the threads that cover this topic, all the info is in this section, just a page or two down.

Pikey009 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Some good info on here thanks very much. For me I'll be using stock 4efte parts and see how the engine copes and how the car feels. Plus it's cost affective and by the time it comes to it. By the time I go turbo ill already be running a piggy back along with a few other things to spread the cost out.Even on low boost we will be running near double the stock power and tourque so it'll be good fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frankieflowers Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Hi guys. Anyone still here to ask a few questions? I want to use a Corolla 1998 4efe for a forged engine project to be swapped with my 4efte. I am making a list of extra bits that I will need. Please help. 1) engine head is the same besides camshafts that will have to be replaced with 4efte ones 2) oil sump must be drilled for turbo oil feed return. I need the metal pipe to do it. Cannot find it. Help! 3) the fte engine block has an extra water drain cock that is probably used to feed water to the turbo. How can I manage that on the 4efe block? 4) knock sensor. The 1998 4efe should have the knock sensor but I still haven’t confirmed. If there isn’t one, I will have to get it drilled and buy a knock sensor.(who knows where) I hope you can help to figure out my list before I purchase forged parts to get the clone done.
